Whatever happened to that quintessentially Anglican style of Scripture and
Liturgy, i.e., poetry?

The response to my quick review of the AMiA prayer book and the word "quick"
is important was well received.  Thank you. DH+

Far be it to imply 1662 = protestant, while 1928 = catholic.  Agreed it is,
on it's face, a fallacy. 


My points were not well expressed.  Of course, if the purpose of the AMiA
book is merely to provide a modern translation of the 1662, then one could
expect to find no more party sympathies within the modern version than one
could find in the original.  Agreed. 


That said, I repeat, this edition, while faithful to orthodoxy and faithful
to the 1662 Anglican tradition, holds no particular allure to my heart. 


I also repeat, I find it's lack of classic Anglican pentameter off putting,
it's publishing layout screams "low budget affair", and it's decision to be
nothing more than a modern translation of the 1662 of little enticement
personally.   I remain quite unsure as to what contribution this little book
makes.
